As the recent, rather clever marketing for the Season 3 DVD/Blu-ray set of Game of Thrones, implies, the smash-hit fantasy series left viewers at the end of their nerves during its last outing. How can the show’s creators top the blood and madness that closed out the previous season?

Even those familiar with George R.R. Martin’s source novels are uncertain of where the show might take the story of the war for Westeros. Already introducing and remixing elements from later novels (not to mention throwing in elements spun from whole cloth), Game of Thrones is increasingly tacking into unknown waters. Those curious about season 4 of the series – set to premiere in less than two months – got a boost today with a new trailer for these upcoming episodes.

Essentially a much-needed expansion of the previous trailer for the season, the trailer gives viewers hints of the consequences that will follow the climactic events of season 3. Even as House Lannister celebrates its apparent victory in the War of the Five Kings, survivors such as Arya Stark (Maisie Williams), Jon Snow (Kit Harington), and Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) pursue rule and revenge.

Also quite welcome are glimpses at the season 4′s VFX shots, including a much bigger Drogon, the immense slave city of Meereen, and a leisurely shot of one of the dreaded White Walkers. If these images are anything to go by, season 4 of Game of Thrones may be the most visually impressive outing of the series yet.

I don’t think they’re saying they actually know what’s going to happen, they’re saying that based on how things have gone, they think the Lannisters are going to continue dominating and the Starks are going to keep getting killed, and that will be boring to continue to watch, in responce to I’ll just say: Season 4 is going to be one of the best seasons of any TV show ever. Will probably be up there with the final season of Breaking Bad. So, I’d recommend to keep watching, because it is anything but predictable.

In just 1:40 you could see how and why Game of Thrones has changed the way TV shows are produced and why as fans we shouldn’t accept anything less.
I’m sure every one of us here has seen a feature film in the theater that looks like complete garbage compared to what we on this show.

Yes, I know that this is the most expensive show ever produced at @ 60 million per season give or take but I’ve seen movies with budgets north of 100 million that pale in comparison.

LOL! After last season, I still can’t believe some of you people are looking for satisfaction. Well, let me re-iterate Ramsay’s quote “If you think this has any happy ending, you haven’t been paying any attention.”
